Clinical Outcome: Patient and Partner Satisfaction after Penile Implant Surgery.
Article in Current urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundErectile dysfunction (ED) is a common disorder, which affects at least 50% of males aged 50-70 years. According to EAU Guidelines on male sexual dysfunction, implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is a valid, third-line therapeutic option for treatment of ED.
objectiveWe conducted a retrospective single centre study to analyze mechanical reliability, complication rate, patient satisfaction and quality of life after penile prosthesis implantation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 126 electronic patient files after primary implantation of an IPP during a 5-year period were investigated. A structured telephone interview concerning patient and partner satisfaction was conducted at least 1 year after implant surgery.
resultsWe found that 15 patients (11.9%) had revision surgery for various reasons. Mechanical failure occurred in 7.14% of the patients and was the main reason for revision surgery. Other major complications and complaints were loss of penile length (18.53%), postoperative pain (11.9%) and altered sensation (8.73%). No patients required explantation for infection, and 1 patient (0.79%) underwent revision surgery for an imminent erosion. One year or more after surgery, the patient and partner satisfaction rates, were 83.2 and 85.4%, respectively. We observed very high patient and partner satisfaction rates for the implantation of an IPP, with improvement of the general quality of life. These rates are negatively influenced by the occurrence of postoperative complications and complaints such as postoperative penile length shortening, pain and floppy glans syndrome. Most patients regain sexual function 6 weeks after surgery with no or minimal effect on the orgasm.
conclusionThe implantation of a 3-piece IPP has proven an effective, third-line treatment for patients with ED.
